Tegole Valdostane are thin and crispy cookies shaped like curved roof tiles, made with almonds and hazelnuts. The name comes from their resemblance to the slate tiles that cover the roofs of Valle d'Aosta.

Perfect with coffee or a glass of Moscato.

Chef's Tips

The tegole must be curved while still hot from the oven: they cool in just a few seconds. Work quickly.
